void _FLACcontrolTasks	(	tMotor	_motor,
		int	_highPower,
		long	_encTarget
	)

Stop and start the motor control tasks and set their parameters.

Note: this is an internal function and should not be called directly.

Parameters:

_motor	the motor to be controlled
_highPower	the highest speed the motor should turn at
_encTarget	the target the motor should move to

Definition at line 238 of file FLAC-driver.h.

void FLACextendLA	(	tMotor	_motor,
		int	_highPower
	)

Extend the Linear Actuator fully until stalled.

Parameters:

_motor	the motor to be controlled
_highPower	the highest speed the motor should turn at

Examples:

FLAC-test1.c.

Definition at line 315 of file FLAC-driver.h.

void FLACextendLA	(	tMotor	_motor,
		int	_highPower,
		int	distance
	)

Extend the Linear Actuator.

Parameters:

_motor	the motor to be controlled
_highPower	the highest speed the motor should turn at
distance	the number of encoder ticks (0.5mm) the actuator should move

Definition at line 327 of file FLAC-driver.h.

void FLACmoveLA	(	tMotor	_motor,
		int	highpower,
		int	pos
	)

Move the Linear Actuator to an absolute position

Parameters:

_motor	the motor to be controlled
highpower	the highest speed the motor should turn at
pos	the exact encoder count to move to

Definition at line 363 of file FLAC-driver.h.

void FLACtretractLA	(	tMotor	_motor,
		int	_highPower,
		int	distance
	)

Retract the Linear Actuator.

Parameters:

_motor	the motor to be controlled
_highPower	the highest speed the motor should turn at
distance	the number of encoder ticks (0.5mm) the actuator should move

Definition at line 351 of file FLAC-driver.h.

void FLACtretractLA	(	tMotor	_motor,
		int	_highPower
	)

Retract the Linear Actuator fully until stalled. It is wise to reset the encoder count for that motor afterwards.

Parameters:

_motor	the motor to be controlled
_highPower	the highest speed the motor should turn at

Examples:

FLAC-test1.c.

Definition at line 339 of file FLAC-driver.h.

bool isDone

(

tMotor

_motor )

Check if the motor is done with the current operation

Parameters:

_motor

the motor to be checked

Returns:

true if the motor is done, false if it isn't

Examples:

FLAC-test1.c.

Definition at line 290 of file FLAC-driver.h.

bool isStalled

(

tMotor

_motor )

Check if the motor stalled on the last operation

Parameters:

_motor

the motor to be checked

Returns:

true if the motor stalled, false if it hadn't.

Examples:

FLAC-test1.c.

Definition at line 305 of file FLAC-driver.h.
